Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a andrewsarchus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a andrewsarchus.
As long as you are not sprinting you will not need ghillie gear
Kill all of them and let them respawn and kill them again and then let them respawn again and then kill them again and then let them respawn again and then kill them and then tame it
It is possible to tame one at level one you only need to harvest honey, run up to one a few steps back so it wont argo on you, crouch and toss the honey once it eats the honey run up and do the prompts and before it kicks you off jump off of it and crouch right away and repeat - someone who has 3 now at the start of the game
Always see some at 60, 25 on fjordr. The honey goes in your hot bar drop it from there. Bring a crossbow and grappling hook. If it throws you off grapple up a hill or tree and wait a bit. It will lose interest and walk off and you can throw down more honey and continue taming.
SurviveTheArk.com Official News: Andrewsarchus will be an upcoming creature in June on map fjordjur. Taming will require honey (Andrewsarchus is a passive tame and does not attack) . Once tamed the saddle will have a minigun that acts like a turret. Abilities are that it gathers silica pearls better than any creature so far, and it’s minigun saddle. This creature is aquatic but will be on land for taming.
This may be a good farmer, but I also think it may be a passive tame.
second tip.
You don’t need gillie you just have to crouch and it be near by ( will Agro/see you if you move to much or honey is to far away).
P.s. other creatures will eat honey.
Day 1 of making a tip everyday: Andrewsarchus
The andrewsarchus is a semi aquatic creature that is tamed by dropping honey on the floor, when it eats it you have to mount it similar to a equus, you then have to steer them in the direction they would like (the arrows on the screen point to them if I’m not mistaken) repeat the process if you mess up until they are tamed!
When they are tamed they can:
-Swim relatively fast and long
-have a saddle with a Minigun on it
-minigun shoots underwater
-run fast on land
-saddle protects you from radiation AND drowning
-can be ridden with no saddle if tamed earlier then saddle
-they have a pack buff
Bonus stuff:
-Saddle has Easter eggs in first person
-ManaTheTipMan
Get ready for a lot of honey since you will need it for this method aka early game just starting
I have .8 rates or .4 not on single player settings since I’m lonely but you get a metal hatchet and get a lot of honey around maybe 20 you find the one you like I got lucky whith a lvl 200 and use it like a cartoon path placing a few in a line to a better location and just continue your basic movements of tamein
Also every location that an Andrew spawn has at least 2 honey rocks except on the flatland mountains in vanna land good luck and I hope this works for you as well as it did for me
IMPORTANT INFO:
To tame you DONT need gilli or anything else!!! Just select honey from your hot bar and throw it by an Andrew! Once it is eating it is completely passive! Just run up and hop on! No sneaking or gilli needed!
Don’t stress this tame this is easy since all you need is Giant bee honey.
Final. Get Giant bee honey take it to the Andrew use ghillie armor just in case.
Then after a while it’s all yours. Good luck!!
Hop off it right before it forces you off when taming, this avoids his back kick stun which avoids damage, and as a bonus, if you do this while wearing ghillie it completely ignores you once you hop off.
When taming, there is a red bar where the taming effectiveness is. It will build up as you are riding the Andrewsarchus and, when full, it will kick you off and try to kill you. If you manually dismount before the bar is full you can avoid them aggroing and trying to kill you. Wait a few seconds before trying to mount them again to let the bar lower.
Call in the hog ridaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Very good tame even for a new player, got mine like at level 5 just wearing cloth, you dont need ghillie. Just gather honey from the honey rocks, place them on your hot bar and use it to toss it on front of him then just atear it.
Make sure their isn’t to many other creatures around or they will eat the honey and not the Andrewsarchus.
You can tame one at level one! Here’s how!
Get honey and feed it to andrewsarchus then mount. Before rage bar fills up dismount and run away and it won’t aggro. Check the taming tracker to make sure it’s the level you want if you don’t have a spyglass and repeat the process. It won’t ruin taming effectiveness either. Good luck getting ur pew pew piggies!
They are so easy to tame just get a ghillie suit, (you don't need gloves or boots) throw down some honey, when it starts to eat hop on its back and turn whichever direction the arrows point and the Andrew turns
Tamed passively. As soon as it eats your dropped honey, approach and ride it. In order to build up the taming meter, continuously press the indicated direction key (left or right). Don't click it just once, but press the button as long as it's green. Stop once the arrow turns red and wait a moment. Be careful when it throws you off. Wearing ghillie helps. When thrown off, you have to lure it again with another piece of honey to continue.
As soon as you see that red bar going upas you’re taming, instead of letting it buck you off just get off before it gets full so it won’t agro on you
